Ms Hanisah said she and her two housemates, known only as Idah, 19, and Siti, 21​, were cleaning the house upon arriving home from work, and that Muhammad Mukamil, an airport limo driver, was outside the house when two Jais officers arrived.

The Star Online reported her as saying: "How can this be khalwat? Muhammad Mukamil sends and fetches us from work at KLIA2 every day."

She said: "He came to help us shift and clean that time and when the Jais officers came, he was standing outside the gate."

Abuse of power

Their lawyer Latheefa Koya said the Jais had abused its power and that the four were not read their rights.

The Malaysian Insider reported her as saying: "The incident occurred in front of their neighbours, the victims have been humiliated and shamed in public."

Said the lawyer: "It does not make sense. This is not the right way to prevent vice.”

The Jais officers apparently observed the four for just five minutes before making the arrest.

The lawyer said a police report has been filed against the two Jais officers involved.
